Ideally of course for your own health would not smoke you.

But as a medical definition, if you smoke less as 3 cigarettes per day, that you will consider a nonsmoker.

And if mommy cannot give up to smoke it, is surer to nurse as to formula feed. Smoking and formula increase many of the same risks (SIDS) ear infections, asthma, allergies, and so on, the risks of the small quantity of contaminants, nicotine and so on, nothing, which is compared with the risks of the formula, is in breastmilk ouchßer if mommy is a very heavy smoker.
